” ‘Although we were disturbed by the proposal to strip the planning board of review authority, we would not have filed a lawsuit if that had been the extent of the town board’s action,’ said CRGD President Carolyn Handler. She said if the town had wanted to extend the zoning of the MC overlay district, the single amendment should have been the subject of a full public hearing and debate.’
‘We take no pleasure in having to sue the town board,’ Handler said. ’However, we cannot stand by and accept a brazen violation of the laws governing how amendments like these are supposed to be publicly noticed and considered, especially when it occurs in such an unfair manner, clearly designed to favor the developer at the expense of town residents,’ she said.”
